CSI `CreateVolume` RPC is idempotent given that the topology,
capabilities, and parameters are unchanged. CSI volumes have many
user-defined fields that are immutable once set, and many fields that
are not user-settable.
Update the `Register` RPC so that updating a volume via the API merges
onto any existing volume without touching Nomad-controlled fields,
while validating it with the same strict requirements expected for
idempotent `CreateVolume` RPCs.
Also, clarify that this state store method is used for everything, not just
for the `Register` RPC.
Registration of Nomad volumes previously allowed for a single volume
capability (access mode + attachment mode pair). The recent `volume create`
command requires that we pass a list of requested capabilities, but the
existing workflow for claiming volumes and attaching them on the client
assumed that the volume's single capability was correct and unchanging.
Add `AccessMode` and `AttachmentMode` to `CSIVolumeClaim`, use these fields to
set the initial claim value, and add backwards compatibility logic to handle
the existing volumes that already have claims without these fields.
When the client-side actions of a CSI client RPC succeed but we get
disconnected during the RPC or we fail to checkpoint the claim state, we want
to be able to retry the client RPC without getting blocked by the client-side
state (ex. mount points) already having been cleaned up in previous calls.
The MVP for CSI in the 0.11.0 release of Nomad did not include support
for opaque volume parameters or volume context. This changeset adds
support for both.
This also moves args for ControllerValidateCapabilities into a struct.
The CSI plugin `ControllerValidateCapabilities` struct that we turn
into a CSI RPC is accumulating arguments, so moving it into a request
struct will reduce the churn of this internal API, make the plugin
code more readable, and make this method consistent with the other
plugin methods in that package.
CSI plugins can require credentials for some publishing and
unpublishing workflow RPCs. Secrets are configured at the time of
volume registration, stored in the volume struct, and then passed
around as an opaque map by Nomad to the plugins.
During MVP development, we reduced the timeout for controller plugins
to avoid long hangs in GC workers. But now that this work has been
moved to the volume watcher, we can restore the original timeout which
is better suited for the characteristic timescales of some cloud
provider APIs and better matches the behavior of k8s.
The `Job.Deregister` call will block on the client CSI controller RPCs
while the alloc still exists on the Nomad client node. So we need to
make the volume claim reaping async from the `Job.Deregister`. This
allows `nomad job stop` to return immediately. In order to make this
work, this changeset changes the volume GC so that the GC jobs are on a
by-volume basis rather than a by-job basis; we won't have to query
the (possibly deleted) job at the time of volume GC. We smuggle the
volume ID and whether it's a purge into the GC eval ID the same way we
smuggled the job ID previously.
The CSI plugins uses the external volume ID for all operations, but
the Client CSI RPCs uses the Nomad volume ID (human-friendly) for the
mount paths. Pass the External ID as an arg in the RPC call so that
the unpublish workflows have it without calling back to the server to
find the external ID.
The controller CSI plugins need the CSI node ID (or in other words,
the storage provider's view of node ID like the EC2 instance ID), not
the Nomad node ID, to determine how to detach the external volume.
If a volume-claiming alloc stops and the CSI Node plugin that serves
that alloc's volumes is missing, there's no way for the allocrunner
hook to send the `NodeUnpublish` and `NodeUnstage` RPCs.
This changeset addresses this issue with a redesign of the client-side
for CSI. Rather than unmounting in the alloc runner hook, the alloc
runner hook will simply exit. When the server gets the
`Node.UpdateAlloc` for the terminal allocation that had a volume claim,
it creates a volume claim GC job. This job will made client RPCs to a
new node plugin RPC endpoint, and only once that succeeds, move on to
making the client RPCs to the controller plugin. If the node plugin is
unavailable, the GC job will fail and be requeued.
